A nice hack that I didn't see before. Thanks!

Yes, I need to install this here...

I haven't taken a look at this yet..so I don't know if this is a good question to ask, But, would it possible to tie this ban list into your censor?

There seems to be a problem with NickBan, at least with version 6.04. In the check_name_bans function, you have this:

Code

code:

The problem is that if someone enters an invalid nick during registration, no HTTP header is written out, so the user is given a download dialog. It looks like you need to modify it to this:

Code

code:

Once I made this change, it worked as expected, displaying an error to the user that their nick was invalid and to go back and try again.

Yeah, that looks about right.

Added to check list.

Hack Updated.

Hey q, I installed it, muchas gracias... can it work similar to the censor list in that if you type in something like "skee"

it'll ban any name that trys to register with that group of letters in it anywhere?

Text file updated to fix fatal error involved when registering under a banned nick. Text file updated on my website.

Users don't need to upgrade unless experiencing a problem.

Inside ubb_lib.cgi

find:

sub check_name_bans {
# parameter:
#$_[0] : name to check

local(@name_ban_list, $banname);

#Check Name Ban List--
if (-e "$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/BanLists/NameBan.cgi") {
@name_ban_list = &OpenFileAsArray("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/BanLists/NameBan.cgi");
}

if ($name_ban_list[0] ne '') {
CheckBanList: for $banname(@name_ban_list) {
chomp($banname);
$banname =~ s/^s//g; $banname =~ s/s$//g;
if ($_[0] =~ /$banname/i) {
print (
-charset => "$masterCharset",
-type => "text/html"
);
&StandardHTML("$_[0]: $vars_wordlets_mods{nickban_bad_nick}");
last CheckBanList;
} # end if ($_[0] =~ /$banname/i) {
} # end for $banname(@name_ban_list) {
}

} #end sub check_name_bans

and remove:

print (
-charset => "$masterCharset",
-type => "text/html"
);

A thousand thanks qasic. That fixed the problem.

q, I downloaded the .shw NickBan file. Just curious, is the same as version 0.04 or 0.02, as I think it states, or is the 0.02 just the shw files version?

Play it safe and manually hack it in.

qasic

I think i found a bug in this hack.
it work perfectly if i ty to ban normal name
but when i try to ban name like : ** or =- anyway any strange symbol i get this error when someone try to register using for example: **Name**

HOpe someone find a solution to this problem

Sweet. I need this hack.

A part of the problem mentioned above can i ban for example "ch" or any combination of letter so that would censor all name contaaining ch
like: chato ?

Can't wait for advice on the problem and this.

Hey qasic, can you put the link back on your site please? I wonna try and adapt it to 6.1. Thanks

See https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=30&t=000052 for UBB 6.1 version.

qasic

I don't see this in your hacks area Qasic. Is it only available for 6.1 now? Can i get this from somewhere else?

Should I take this as a "no"?

Does anyone else have this hack for 6.0x?

Xpert,

It's still available but I just didn't put it up. E-mail me and I'll e-mail it to you.
